NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 

Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards; Renewal

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of renewal of the Advisory Committee on Reactor 
Safeguards (ACRS).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards was established 
by Section 29 of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) in 1954. Its purpose is to 
provide advice to the Commission with regard to the hazards of proposed 
or existing reactor facilities, to review each application for a 
construction permit or operating license for certain facilities 
specified in the AEA, and such other duties as the Commission may 
request. The AEA as amended by PL 100-456 also specifies that the 
Defense Nuclear Safety Board may obtain the advice and recommendations 
of the ACRS.

    Membership on the Committee includes individuals experienced on 
reactor operations, management; probabilistic risk assessment; analysis 
of reactor accident phenomena; design of nuclear power plant 
structures, systems and components; and mechanical, civil, and 
electrical engineering.
    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has determined that renewal of 
the charter for the ACRS until December 23, 1996 is in the public 
interest in connection with the statutory responsibilities assigned to 
the ACRS. This action is being taken in accordance with the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act.
